Multiplayer Game Setup

[Tals]

Hi

I'm currently running a small network game, for ease I want to have a command line to start the server and also one for my clients. I have got down to:

Host:
Runs D2 in Host, Port 1025, Executes Postie Batch after host for game oo_aran
"C:\Program Files\dominions2\dom2.exe" --tcpserver --port 1025 --postexec c:\postie\oo_aran.bat oo_aran

The only aspect I am missing is how to set it into quick host, is there a switch for this?

Is there a list of command switches anywhere, Gandalf posted this one a loooong time ago

News Post (http://groups.google.com/group/comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.strategic/browse_frm/thread/3114fb3d5bf3504c/a840ec789b2fbbe9?lnk=st&q=dominions+command+line+o ptions&rnum=5#a840ec789b2fbbe9)

But looking at the release notes this has changed quite a lot!

You can use the -q option for quickhost:

c:\etc\dom2.exe -q --tcpserver --port 1025 --postexec etc.

That should do it,
